"India and Asia are at the heart of the Internet’s future — a future that ICANN is working on as we speak," said Peter Dengate Thrush, ICANN’s Board Chairman. "Internet penetration in India is at just over five percent and growing fast — considering that one per cent is 11 million people coming online. ICANN’s work on Internationalized Domain Names and new top-level domains has the potential to reach out to rest of India and begin remaking the Internet as people connect in their own languages and scripts." http://icann.org/announcements/announcement-07feb08.htm Conclusion of JPA: ICANN CEO's message ... The international board of ICANN believes that ICANN is fulfilling the responsibilities it assumed in the JPA back in 2006. Moreover, the move towards greater community ownership has led to more effective and more efficient policy development. As such, ICANN believes it is now time to take the next logical step and recognize the successful completion of the joint project agreement. This will not change the way things are done now to coordinate the internet’s addressing system. http://blog.icann.org/?p=274 ICANN Recovers Large Block of Internet Address Space ICANN has found a little breathing room in the IPv4 address space with its recovery of a block of 16 million IPv4 addresses. The IP addresses recovered were once used to connect older protocol packet-data networks with the fledgling Internet. The block of addresses, technically referred to as 14.0.0.0/8, is also known as Net-14. http://icann.org/announcements/announcement-2-10feb08.htm ICANN: Independent Evaluator Seeks Public Input to At-Large Advisory Committee ('ALAC') Review Westlake Consulting Limited (WCL) was selected by ICANN's Board of Directors to conduct an independent review of the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) .

EBay Inc, Case No. 05-56794 (9th Cir. Nov. 5th, 2007) was asked to decide which versions of the mark "Perfumebay" infringed upon the trademark "eBay", both being web-based shopping sites selling perfume. The Court affirmed the District Court’s ruling that the version "perfumebay" as a conjoined term is confusingly similar to "eBay," but rejected eBay’s contention of infringement against non-conjoined versions of the Defendant’s name in which the two terms are merely separated by a space – like "Perfume Bay." In this case the Ninth Circuit upheld the District Court’s refusal to enjoin non-conjoined terms, on the basis that they were not likely to confuse or to dilute. http://www.mondaq.com/article.asp?articleid=54828 ********************** - IPv4/IPv6 ********************** The great phone book in the sky: Web users should give thanks for humble men with beards and sandals Sometimes, a system works so well that we barely notice it.

By Dan Campbell How important is it for a vendor, service provider or integrator to be using a service or technology that it is pushing on its clients? When Voice over IP (VoIP) came out Cisco began a gigantic push, having its salespersons pitch it to anyone and everyone on their client list. But Cisco had not yet deployed VoIP within its own corporate network. It was still making use of traditional voice systems from vendors that today it probably considers competitors. Many people on the receiving end of a sales pitch recognized this. http://www.circleid.com/posts/ipv6_do_as_i_say/ Businesses should not delay move to IPv6, caution experts While studies indicate North American IT managers don't yet feel any pressing need to switch over to IPv6, experts say it's advisable for businesses to get started now. http://www.itbusiness.ca/it/client/en/home/News.asp?id=47066 F5 warns organisations to plan carefully on IPv6 F5 Networks, Inc., the global leader in Application Delivery Networking, today warns organisations not to take a migration to IPv6 lightly and consider the resources required to make a smooth transition possible, in light of the news that ICANN, the organisation responsible for managing the Internet’s addressing system, has started to add addresses in the new format to its servers. http://www.bobsguide.com/guide/news/2008/Feb/8/F5_warns_organisations_to_plan_carefully_on_IPv6.html ********************** - MISCELLANEOUS ********************** Time Warner, Yahoo Team Up to Cybersquat Time Warner’s Road Runner internet service has teamed up with Yahoo to typosquat on millions of unregistered domain names.
